[Study of chromophore dynamics by means of Rayleigh scattering of Mossbauer radiation].
The temperature dependence of rayleigh scattering of Mössbauer radiation was studied for two samples of the chromatophores with different relative humidity (P/Ps = 0.35 and 0.94). New type of motion--the transitions between conformational substates was found above 200 degrees K. The model was developed to describe conformational motion in the membranes and membrane proteins. A new formula was derived for the Debye--Waller factor in accordance with this model. The model proposes the existence of fluid-like motions of protein fragments within the volume of some A3, restricted by the profile of the conformational potential. The correlation between decreasing of fR and increasing of electron transition rate was observed.
